The Craft's Meow: Welcome to the Office

Today is the third day of the previews for five new stamp sets soon to be  available through The Craft's Meow on July 21.  All the designers' projects can be seen over on TCM's company blog along with their links for more details, so be sure to check them out.  

Today we are featuring Karen Baker's Welcome to the Office stamp set:

There are so many great office images in this set! I used the paper clip image to go with the sentiment. The colors were inspired by 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge and took me 7:58 to make. Granted, I thought through my card before I started...but still, not to shabby of a time :) Here is a link to the challenge:

 I'll be back tomorrow with another card from The Craft's Meow July stamp set release!  This is such a great release - and had so much fun playing with all of the new sets! A stamp set will be given away to some

lucky commenter from the TCM blog. 

Deadline to leave comments each evening is 8 pm PST.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Today I have a card to share that I made for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges over on SCS.  I used the butterfly from Beautiful Spring (from The Craft's Meow) and layered strips of patterned paper from Buttercup (Lily Bee Designs).  I covered where each strip met with twine from The Twinery and added some Want2Scrap bling to trail behind the butterfly.  The sentiment is a SRM sticker, which are so fun to use!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

TCM: Vintage Clock Preview

Hello!  I am excited to be previewing Nina's newest stamp set for The Craft's Meow Vintage Clock.  This is a beautiful new clear stamp set in Nina's ever classy style.  I used Memento Nautical Blue and Toffee Crunch and alternately stamped the clock image.  If you look close you can see that I did a bit of scoring in the center, wrapped with twine and cinched it with a button.

I am entering this card into the Card Design Handbook Week: The Repetition Challenge.

 Also, wanted to confirm with my dear followers that I am thrilled to say I am joining the Scor-Pal design team!  Very excited to be joining these creative designers and LOVE my Scor-Pal products!  I met Diana Crick back at CHA in 2011 (interestingly enough with Nina) and thrilled to be working with her amazing products!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

SNSS Fall Frenzy Blog Hop

Hello stamping friends!!  We are so excited about Fall arriving soon that we've decided to celebrate the season with a Fall Frenzy Blog Hop & Virtual Stamp Day! 

The Design Divas have created some fabulous eye candy for you featuring our wonderful selection of Fall stamps so we hope you'll hop along with us today!
Be sure to stop along the way because we'll be drawing one lucky commenter from a random DT blog to win a $25 credit to the store!!

Today I am showcasing two Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sets and first is Leaf Silhouettes:

 I love the solid leaf image in this stamp set and used Big Brush markers from Design Memory Craft to color directly on the stamp for the leaves.  I did a bit of combining colors to mimic the fabulous colors God reveals through the fall season as the leaves slowly change colors.  I did a bit of flicking (by coloring on my craft mat with a brown marker, spritzing with water, and picking up the color with a water color brush) to fill in a bit of the "white" space.

Don't you just love the fall colored M&M's that are showing up in stores???  I accented this little treat container using some Simple Stories patterned paper, Spellbinders dies and a sentiment from the stamp set:

And the other fall stamp set I am showcasing is Autumn Leaves:

For this card, I scored a piece of Ivory card stock every 1/4" and stamped the leaves using Versafine ink.  I colored them using Big Brush markers and sponged over it with Old Paper distress ink.  Then I stamped over it with Friendship Script.  Love the "tile" like design to the background!!!
